Nexen Classe Premiere CP662

The Nexen Classe Premiere CP662 is a solid choice for those who value comfort and quietness in a touring all-season tire. With comfort and noise scores both at 8, it meets the category benchmarks, making it a good fit for long highway drives. However, the lack of a treadwear warranty and a treadlife score of 6.5 suggest that it may not last as long as some of its competitors, which could increase the cost of ownership over time. In terms of wet grip, the CP662 performs well with a score of 7.5, surpassing the category average of 6.9. This makes it a reliable option for wet weather conditions. However, its dry grip score of 7.5 is slightly below the category average of 7.8, which might not satisfy drivers looking for more spirited handling. When compared to competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control and Continental ProContact TX, the CP662 lacks a treadwear warranty, which is a significant drawback for those who drive high annual mileage. While it offers competitive handling and wet grip, buyers should weigh these factors against the potential need for more frequent tire replacements. Overall, if you're a commuter who values comfort and noise reduction over treadlife and dry grip performance, the CP662 could be a suitable choice. However, if longevity and a warranty are priorities, consider alternatives like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control instead.
